The Babia Analytical Framework, developed by PACKS Africa, offers a locally grounded and context-sensitive approach to understanding how evidence interacts with politics, power, and practice in policymaking. Rooted in the Ewe word “Babia” — meaning “to ask” — the framework emphasises curiosity, reflexivity, and contextual inquiry. It provides a structured, multi-level method for analysing actors, systems, and ideas within evidence–policy ecosystems.
